Looking ahead to December with a bundle of celebrations

Transitioning to the last month of the year and bidding farewell to the always-endearing memories of 2024, let us not forget the glorious accomplishments of this term. November was staked with the outsized goal of advancing integrated well-being and participation. As we move to December it is important to recall events that were celebrated and festivals that are expected this month.

CNN Call to Earth Day

 On the 4th of December, we marked CNN Call to Earth Day. It was good to see that our students took the initiative to protect the earth in new ways such as planting trees and saplings and they also constructed as beautiful bird nests out of waste products. These engagements contributed a long way in strengthening their relationship with the nature around them.

Coffee Meets

As part of our campaign to enhance parents’ engagement, we had wonderful Coffee Meets with our secondary grade parents. A quiet interactive session encouraged parents’ voices and brains, allowing them to comprehend the learning processes of their children. More such meetings have been planned for this month with our Primary Years Programme (PYP) parents, encouraging a meaningful relationship between the school and parents.
